‘Sesame Street’ Reimagined With ‘True Detective’ Lines by Jimmy Kimmel

Matthew McConaughey's Rust Cohle is Oscar the Grouch, and Woody Harrelson's Marty Hart is Big Bird, who looks down at Oscar's trash can and says, "I'm begging you to shut the f— up."

Jimmy Kimmel is really excited about Sesame Street’s move to HBO.

Following his recent mashup of the beloved children’s series and its new network’s hit Game of Thrones, the late-night host debuted another clip on Tuesday night — this time, borrowing lines from the first season of True Detective.

In the bit, the voices of Matthew McConaughey’s Rust Cohle and Woody Harrelson’s Marty Hart are dubbed over a scene featuring Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird, who at one point looks down at Oscar’s trash can and says, “I’m begging you to shut the f— up.”

Sesame Street makes its HBO debut on Jan.16.
